Both of these rebellions shared the commonality of being led by leaders who formed alternative religions that combined Christian beliefs with local, traditional religions. In the case of the Taiping Rebellion, the conflict was led by Hong Xiuquan, who claimed that he was the brother of Jesus Christ. In the case of the Mayan Rebellion of 1847, leader Jose Maria Barrera founded the "cult of the talking cross," a belief system that combined Christian and Mayan religious traditions.
